About The Myth-tery

"To Sleep, Perchance To Dream..."

Quran Surah 18 refers in great detail to an incident where a group of Believers fled to a 'Cave' where they fell 'asleep' for an indeterminate length of Time until the World evolved to a condition that allowed them to ReAwaken in an Environment more Amenable or In Line with their Faith.

There had been earlier mention of just such protracted 'sleeping spells' or 'dormant periods' in the Bible. 

While the Hebrew word, תרדמה,'tardameh', may essentially mean 'hibernation',  an allusion that such downtime is  taking place in the 'winter', this 'suspended state' of animation during periods of 'low activity' is a 'death' at some level; and at times it is interpreted as 'deep sleep' throughout Scripture (Genesis 2:21 and 5:12), like a 'coma' of some sort (i.e., a vegetative state). 

Rudiments of the Hebrew word תרדמה 'tardameh' include but are not limited to: 'searching'; 'beautiful'; 'RR'; and 'acute' (the Rebbeh-in-Residence may feel free to elaborate).

While this may appear to be nit picking, a case can be made as to why Holy Scripture, that very thing intended to propel the evolution of mankind, seems to serve as a major stumbling block to their betterment throughout their history for no other reason than flagrant misinterpretation and misuse of what is essentially a pivotal, intricate body of information (Knowledge Object) meant for their collective benefit.

Say: I Seek Refuge In God from the Accursed Satan (the one who misleads/misinforms, etc.)
Say: In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Beneficent

Information Management 

Step 1: Reading With Proper Guidance And Right Understanding

They ask You why, if God  is sooo perfect, the Revelation was handed down more than once?

Wassamatter, He couldn't get it right the first time?

My good friend Marijke's joke provides insight--(Yes, my friend who has extended her hospitality to me by allowing me to share her home while I am in transit, happens to be Jewish)--ahem, an explanation as to why; 

"It's because the scribes in the days of olde did their work under poor lighting conditions, and one day, it came to pass a scribe was actually reading what he was writing in context and it didn't make sense to him, or a word was so convoluted that he had to ask the Abbott to check the original source.  

So, the Abbott reluctantly goes down into the cellar and digs for hours and hours through tomes and tomes and reams of scrolls and then the scribes hear a tortured shrieeeeekkkkk, followed by the Abbott sobbing out, 'The word is Celebrate!'"

Another possible reason is demonstrated with the problem I am having reading the Genesis Story in the Hebrew.  

SomeUnnamedInferiorBarNeighbor went through what was Revealed as Given, and PUN.Ctuated it to suit their Taste, shall we say. Not only causing grievous pain and suffering and reeking all sorts of havoc on the rest of the many learning it with a bias to begin with (See Luke 11:52 about experts), but resulted in my demise just so I can teach them to read their own language…

Example: Learn to Read without Sedition

Genesis 22:17 (The Angel said to Abraham)"... and in multiplying (See?, Multiply, not Divide...) I will multiply thy sons as the stars of the heavens, and they shall be as the sand which is upon the shore of the sea, and thy sons shall inherit the cities before their enemies (I understand this to mean the pioneers, the first to inhabit a new place, not the only ones, and that later peoples can and may follow). And all the peoples of the earth shall be blessed (see association between 'openings' and 'blessings') through the righteousness of thy sons, because thou hast obeyed (Heard, sm'3t.li, ie., the nature of Abraham as Ishmaelite--a True Telepath, He can literally hear/listen to God) My word."

Genesis 22:17, as rendered above, is what it is given the proscribed (Get it? A Pro wrote it--meaning, he got paid to do it) punctuation seems benign, but clearly sows the seeds for elitism and one-upmanship and HATE when taken from a conventional 'my Father is Bigger than your Father' stilted point of view.

That and we also lose a lot of the math sense of it…

"He's Very Sensitive To Division"

Unlike the position I've taken when elaborating on the same passage, (my having to give it up FREELY--but not of my free will, more like a delusional coercion--yes that hurt), since it is My Father and great care is taken in preserving the genuinely inherent good intentions of the same Genesis 22:17 so that its value and meaning are taught by first having it ensconced (framed) in its proper context; or, at the very least, offer a reasonable understanding for the motivation of proffering it in the first place. 

That Angels, or God, 'Speak' to Abraham in Genesis 22:17 alludes to remote communication taking place between individuals and God, so there is no reason to assume that prayers are not likewise heard by God from His people on some level. It may very well be that one's Father, having passed His earthly domain and completes His journey back to God becomes reunited with/of God (ie., See Quran 86:8  that returns to His Origin(ator), 'inna li'allah wa 3'alihi raji3oon'--'That indeed we belong to God and unto Him We Do Return') and in such an Audience, is privy to such prayers--(and given such a personal communion, on remembering the voice's owner, comes back just to tell her, "I loved you because you never gave me a day of trouble my whole life (on Earth), now I realize you were saving it all up for the life hereonoutupafter! So, get a divorce already.")

So, if Abram heard a voice from the past (see Genesis 22:13, below), then maybe He was hearing His own kith and kin's plea for help from a higher/lower level (i.e., during His long sleep, or Heaven, somewhere in the multiverse), and it moved Him to respond--or, at least, advance the story line.

What a take on the familiar Lord's Prayer!

"Our Father in Heaven, 
Hallowed be Your Name. 
Your kingdom come, 
Your will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven.


{And that's why I am befuddled about this 'husband/wife' thing, Dad, You know I am not one for repeating my mistakes.}

Had the text been preserved as handed down, ONE LONG STRING OF HEBREW LETTERS SANS SPACE SANS DIACRITICS you can readily discern some of the original meaning from what has been left behind:  

Step 2: Really See If for What It Is


Example: Scripture As A Source of Profoundly Useful Information 

Genesis 15:5 ַיּוֹצֵא אֹתוֹ הַחוּצָה, וַיֹּאמֶר הַבֶּט-נָא הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וּסְפֹר הַכּוֹכָבִים--אִם-תּוּכַל, לִסְפֹּר אֹתָם; וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ, כֹּה יִהְיֶה זַרְעֶךָ--

Genesis 15:5 (as now written, above) And He brought him forth abroad, and said: 'Look now toward heaven, and count the stars, if thou be able to count them'; and He said unto him: 'So shall thy seed be.'

The same text Genesis 15:5, without all the innuendo, includes the following words: 

"You assemble cross take out biject about the sea to get back and navigate by the stars..."

The point being do not turn what  is essentially a Sacred lesson from God to Ibrahim in Astronomy (this is not a stretch, see Genesis 15:5, above), with its multitude of nuanced ramifications, into an infernal racist struggle or some kind of mad land grab or whatever else low-brow motive have they. (The end result, whether intended or not, is still unfortunate for me, since I cannot see You and You Hear me but cannot see me, and somehow I am supposed to be okay with this and not get bitter or let sedition rule me as it did the rest of 'em  because let's face it, I was promised the better of whatever I had lost on account of what happened and in the final analysis there was nothing better than You, or Your Sister…this is not a stretch either, time will tell.)

The Genesis Sleepers

Step 3: Bolster The Case Stacked Up in Step 1 and 2 And Guild The Lily with Even More Examples 


Example: Embedded Messages About Sleepers Is Sound Information, Not Just Bed Time Stories 

^{Genesis 2:21} And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.

Adam presumably was dreaming of Eve, whatever Love He found upon waking.

^{Genesis 5:12} And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him. 

Abram, aka Abraham, unlike Adam and His sound sleep, apparently had a 'nightmare'.

It's clear to me now that Abraham had a nightmare about what had happened to His daughter, rather than dreaming about His beautiful Eve (Hi, Mom!).

^{Genesis 28:11} And he (Jacob) alighted (landed somewhere) upon a certain place, and tarried (went about) there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

  וַיִּפְגַּ֨ע  בַּמָּקֹ֜ום  וַיָּ֤לֶן  שָׁם֙  כִּי־  בָ֣א  הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ  וַיִּקַּח֙  מֵאַבְנֵ֣י  הַמָּקֹ֔ום  וַיָּ֖שֶׂם  מְרַֽאֲשֹׁתָ֑יו  וַיִּשְׁכַּ֖ב  בַּמָּקֹ֥ום  הַהֽוּא׃  Genesis 28:11

According to the phonetics assigned to the pure Hebrew text, Genesis 28:11 looks to mean that Jacob found himself somewhere overnight and put some stones to use for pillows (see Verse 88:15,  and reference to cushions) and slept there. 

This hardly sounds very comfortable at all, I mean really--have you ever tried sleeping on a rock? The ground is much more amenable to a better night's sleep. 

Yet, this is propounded as the acceptable rendering. 

The Google Hebrew/English translation tool is, at best, very coarse but speculatively gives the following results for the same series of Hebrew alpha text found in Genesis 28:11;

 וַיִּפְגַּ֨עבַּמָּקֹ֜וםוַיָּ֤לֶןשָׁם֙ כִּי־

ן פג עבמ
 קוםו
לןשםכ

ןפג ע במקו םול ןשםכ
'Parties injured by the front took place' (per Google Translation Hebrew/English)...the interpretation may or may not be accurate but a smattering of the words may indicate where Jacob had alighted for the night may have been a battlefield at one time where people had been injured or wounded 'injured+at+the front' like in front lines of a battlefield.

ן יפ געב מקןם ויל ןשםכי  

ויפגע    And will

לןשם  Respirator (Breathed)
כי       That

בָ֣אהַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁוַיִּקַּח֙מֵאַבְנֵ֣י

בא     Come
הש    The third…In some languages, saying 'three' or 'the third' is idiomatic for 'ultimate or 'final'
משו    Served
 יקח מאבני   Take stones (blocks)…and here 'taking' the 'stones' or 'blocks' to 'serve' presumably a useful purpose.

הַמָּקֹ֔וםוַיָּ֖        שֶׂםמְרַֽאֲשֹׁתָ֑יווַיִּ   שְׁכַּ֖בבַּמָּקֹ֥וםהַהֽוּא

המקוםו'        שםמראשת'וו'   שכבבמקוםההוא

המ קוםוי   Are places
שם              There
םמראשתי וןי   The head builders…This combination of words; head + builders, leads to thinking along the lines of 'head stones' or even laying down the foundation (as in masonry)…
שכב       Lie
במ         In the 
 קוםה הוא   Floor is…the concept of actually building something with the stones is enriched with reference to 'laying down + the floor,' and even 'checking the lie (lay) of the land', or surveying it prior to construction. A conclusion that makes more sense than Jacob using the stones for pillows to sleep on.

This cursory look at the original Old Testament Hebrew Scripture makes a case, however mild, that the text is open to other valid interpretations just based on the Scripture itself without resorting to word counting or word finding schemes.   

Genesis 28:11 may be relating a viable detail about Jacob's life where He stops to commemorate those fallen in battle by building a temple or some structure at the site.  

^{Genesis 28:16}And Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I knew it not." 

Here, Jacob is Aware that he had been 'unconscious' (knew it not==unaware, or 'asleep') and that God's Presence had been about him.

^{Genesis 31:40} Thus I was: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 

Here, Isaac is Aware that He has come 'awake' having slept for some unspecified length of time=='my sleep departed from mine eyes' is another way of saying He may have had His eyes open but still not fully aware==somnambulant.

There are various references found throughout the Quran about this altered state and not knowing exactly how much time has elapsed should one find him-or-her self in such a state (how long they 'tarried').

But of a certainly they are 'asleep' (unaware/oblivious) long enough that it is no longer such a great mystery (Myth or Story).

ARIES 
The Celestial RAM of Sacrifice 
May Not Be A 
Myth-Story
**Itths justht an ass_terism!**

Step 4: Just The Facts

Example: The Truth Is The Truth Even If It's The Biggest Lie On The Face Of The Earth!

Genesis 22:13

And Abraham heard a voice from behind him (the past?) and lifted up his eyes,(and that means Abe looked skywards), and saw one Ram caught in a thicket (tangle of small trees) by his horns (sheratihim, a seasonal time ~spring, (see Aries and Of the three stars, Sheratan, below): and Abraham went and took the Ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son (it ascended as a burnt offering instead of his son who was removed from the Altar).

Clearly, the inference of Abraham looking up and seeing a Ram, meant he first saw the constellation 'Aries'. 


Aries is a common thread that runs through many myths and legends having to do with the celestial Ram including:

• The Ram is identified with the Olympian god Zeus. 

• The same Ram with the golden fleece of Jason and the Argonauts.

• The one that made its appearance on Earth just as King Athamas of Boeotia was about to sacrifice his son Phrixus to ward off an impending famine.

And Usually a Mountain is associated in the telling:

• Abraham-- Mt. Moriah (Cavalry?)

• Zeus-- Mt. Olympus

• Athamas--Mt. Laphystium

• Phryxis--Mt. Colchis

***Aries, The Asterism And The Vernal Equinox***

At one time Aries contained the cardinal point known as the Vernal Equinox--the point at which the Sun crosses the celestial equator from north to south, and it lay South of Mesartim ( γAries), the starting point of the Zodiac.

At present, due to Earth’s precession, the vernal equinox has moved about 30 degrees since the Greek astronomer Hipparchus first described it as such,  and now lies in the neighboring constellation Pisces.

Despite this, the vernal equinox is still sometimes called the first point of Aries (γAries).

Traditionally, Aries was shown in a crouching position sans wings, its head turned back towards Taurus. Aries is not at all prominent, its most noticeable feature being a crooked line of three stars (an asterism) designating its head.

Of these three stars;

• Alpha Arietis is called Hamal, from the Arabic for lamb, at times placed over the top of the Ram’s head;

• Beta Arietis is Sheratan, from the Arabic meaning ‘two’ of something (possibly two signs or two horns, for it was originally applied to both this star and to its neighbor, Gamma Arietis, γAries ); and

• Gamma Arietis is Mesartim (note the similarity between the star name and the word for 'Egypt' in both the Arabic and the Hebrew   מִצְרָ֫יִם , 'mitsriyam'), a curiously corrupted form of al-sharatan, the title which it originally shared with Beta Arietis. Of its 2 neighbors, Gamma Arietis was described by Ptolemy as “the more advanced of the two stars on the horn”, while Beta Arietis was “the rearmost of them”.

***Aries In Chinese Astronomy***

Copse And Bonds

Celestial Rivers, Forests And Fields

Chinese astronomers knew the crooked line formed by the three stars Alpha, Beta and Gamma Arietis as Lou, usually translated as ‘bond’ (which gives us an alternate understanding to the reference 'bond woman'), associated with gathering cattle for sacrifice; the Emperor sacrificing a cow or ram just after the equinox (Sound familiar? See Aries The Celestial Ram of Sacrifice, above).

The celestial fields (Chinese 16th Lunar Mansion) where the sacrifice actually took place are represented by Tianyuan in present-day Eridanus.

Five stars in the center of Aries (probably Nu, Mu, Omicron, Sigma and Pi) formed Zuogeng, representing a forestry manager (ar. حطاب, hhtaab). Another five stars farther east, including Delta and Zeta Arietis, formed Tianyin, literally ‘the celestial yin force’, possibly representing the Emperor’s companion on hunting expeditions. To the north of Tianyin was a single star named Tian’e or Tianhe, ‘celestial river’.

The Zodiac
An Information Bridge
Between Heaven And Earth

First, there is a strong emphasis on the Zodiac (Constellations, Buruj) in the Quran. Emphatic not in the frequency of mentioning them, but due to the very limited number of times 'God Bears Witness' by them:

Surah 15 at.Tur (The Tur, Mt. Sinai, The Craggy Mountain)
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَاء بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ 15:16
15:16 And thereby We Placed in the Sky (Heavens) Constellations (Zodiac, Buruj) and Beautified it (the Sky, Heaven with them) for Observers (those who watch the Sky).

Surah 25 Al.Furqan (The Criterion, The Way to Discern/Divide/Separate)
تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي السَّمَاء بُرُوجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَاجًا وَقَمَرًا مُّنِيرًا (25:61
25:61 Blessed is He Who Placed in the Sky (Heavens) Constellations (Buruj) and Created (Placed) in it (the Sky) a Lamp (sirajin, The Sun, a source of Light) and a lighted Moon ('muneer' means it enlightens, casts light; a good description of the Moon's lighting ability (reflectance) rather than it being an actual light source).

{Compare with: Romeo And Juliet, Act 2 Scene II

Romeo 

He jests at scars that never felt a wound. 

JULIET appears above at a window 

B. U. T, SO [ft] [B==T, Special Orthogonal (F, T)!] 

W (hat) Light Through Yonder Window Breaks? [Lambertian, W Function]

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

I.T == the East, +  July E.T ==the Sun. [Imaginary Time == East + July (check Lemma)   extraterrestrial (What's still unidentified in ours skies around here?) is the Sun (…the very focus of our existence!)

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. 

A.Rise, F.Air Sun + Kill the Envy.Ous Moon… 

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon…

Note: Reference to the Sun appearing as the Extra Terrestrial (UFO) in the July upon sunrise.---Interesting ethnocentricmath extension, but is it still Shakespeare?}


Surah 85 Al.Buruj (The Zodiac, Constellations)
وَالسَّمَاء ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ (85:1
85:1 And the Sky Full of Constellations (Buruj)!

So, it may very well have been the case that Abraham placed great import on the Stars in Heaven and how they Relate to the Earth, because to his mind they informed of his children (seed/sons).

That this is more than what we think of in terms of astrology is inferred from God having Abraham 'count' them or 'account' for them, more than likely God taught Abraham exactly how to understand the mechanism that bound/related the earth to the sky.

Genesis 15:5 And He brought him forth outdoors (outside, the wilderness, a field) and said, “Look now toward Heaven and count the stars, if thou be able to number them.” And He said unto him, “So shall thy seed be.” 

(I suspect the intended meaning is to both count them and account for them and in numbering them, Abraham was to Name them---EXACTLY--answer "Who Done It?!!"

This is not much of an interpretive stretch, and if I be the one telling this story, that's why it's  حرام  haram, ill-gotten, taboo, criminal--I heard that they were desperate on my bus ride in today, 11.05.2012--'Desperate for what, I wonder? 
Do they have such little faith that God Forges The Way?')

And given just a cursory look at Genesis 15:5,  there is interspersed in this one passage alone a bevy of allusions to many of the Signs of the Zodiac that are now being dispensed piecemeal throughout the Egyptian/Hebrew, Arabic, Greek and Asian traditions...

1. פֹר   bull
2. פֹרהַ  cow
3. הַכּוֹכָבִ  planet
4. כָבִ  honorable?
5. כָבִי  turn    כָבִים   go out===about sea===turn from (the reference to the sea may be the Milky Way or according to Chinese astronomy, Tian’e or Tianhe,‘celestial river’ )
6. םאִם-
7. םאִתּוּכַ    from a to xxx from a well, about the well, from the well..a well from a ..from all..by and all, by and about…..about…as to…
8. תּוּכַל   you can
9. לִסְפֹּר  tell
10. תּוּכַללִסְפֹּראֹתָםוַיֹּאמֶרלוֹכֹּהיִהְיֶהזַרְעֶךָ ==== I was going to tell you,  Can you tell it was going dark, a tenth…
11. לוֹכֹּהיִ
12. הְיֶ
13. הְיֶה
14.  זַרְעֶךָ  was seed from   her neighbor??,,,you seed, stranger,,,,by foreign sperm….bad sperm,, poison (reference to scorpio) abutting something

That last line item (Genesis 15:14 in the list above) about her and her neighbor may not be questioning some woman's honor but has more to do with one masculine Sign abutting or neighboring a Feminine Sign. The allusion to poison makes Scorpio a strong probability, the thing about the 'bad sperm' or 'foreign sperm' in Genesis 15:14 having to do with some defect or unwanted mutation in some of Abraham's seed (specifically, that of Isaac and Rebekah's twin sons Jacob and Esau)… 

And while it may not be the original Abram/Abraham whose seed or sperm had possible bad mutations, if the defects were not ferreted out by genetic selection, as Jacob demonstrated with his sheep and goats (Refer to Scripture And Genetic Engineering, below), then the code in the Sacred Scriptures should allow for US to ferret out the inferior/mutants/CRIMINALS  who did this to you.me.n.yoursister in some other tactful way serve to identify and catch them before they hurt anyone else's feelings. 

And the rest of the better-by's can divert themselves with inventing the next widget, writing the next great American novel, and/or curing cancer, using whatever else they find relevant therein, while we attempt to reconstruct what God taught Abram during His fitful vision quest (You can also just take care of Your sister for me). 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abraham As Sky Watcher

To Abraham, seeing or making sense of these stars and their clusters, now familiar to us as the Zodiac meant something profound. 

God is Eternal and outlived the any one mortal for sure, It (GOD) probably referred to Abraham in the Collective--like a Set, generations of Ibrahim. 

This is not a stretch to say this, given the Semitic tradition of referring to a family by the progenitor's name alone, like B'nai Ibrahim (the family of Abraham, if you drop the B'nai, you still get all of Abraham's family as a casual reference). 

The Quran Surah 3 Al'3imran bolsters this interpretation of referring to an entire family lineage by a single progenitor's name (surname) as it mentions many members of Jesus's family including: Zachariah, Mariam (His Mother), and Mariam's mother, John the Baptist, etc. in that one Surah. So that the understanding is knowing the individual by name is the same as having them referred to in the collective as 3'imran. 

Likewise, the arithmetic parlance, if the number 2 is a member of set A={1, 2, 3, 5,7}, then the number 2 can be called by the set of which it is a member, so the understanding that I had A for dinner, means I may have had 1 or  2 or substituted any member of set A---same with God calling on Abraham.

(About that number 2, that's an intentional pun, believe me--I ate it for the betterment of some of those self-proscribed betters of me while I could hear them say I had it coming while they drove around town like stars in their fancy cars, finding some measure of solace in knowing me and 'the boys' built the cities right atop their heads, unawares. Ki Y IP here? ) 

That He did this just reinforces the assumption that Abraham truly loved his children, all of them. 

He didn't take it likely that Sarah was jealous of Hagar, his bond woman  once she conceived Ishmael (thanks for catching Him early, Dad, to Him it was just a block of dreamless sleep 'til age 7...what do you think of the family resemblance?), something that was 'grievous in Abraham's sight' (Genesis 21:11). 

But according to God, both Ishmael and Isaac sprang from Abraham and considered them equally as 'Abraham's seed'.

^{Genesis 21:12} And God said unto Abraham, “Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bond woman (what? it's not like it's the first time my Father took me hunting...what happened-- did Sarah forget?). In all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.^21:13 And also of the son of the bond woman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.”

(Apparently Genesis 21:13 exists for Time Travelers, a mechanism needed to exist vis-a-vis an introduction to the Family who had yet to 'meet' each other; here, Abraham needed to know why Ishmael is considered His seed by direct line of descent and why there is a lot of talk about Abraham's sons and it is not polite to mention His daughters--ergo, Scripture--otherwise it comes out sounding like this: 'Who F@#RUjq039 this?!").

By the way, there is some reference to Hagar (in Ararbic, Hajir, a word the essentially means 'traveller') having been gifted what many of the Scots and Irish call The See once She had Her encounter with The All Seeing God--which would account for some jealousy between Sarah and her handmaid. I think that was misconstrued as such, too. It is surprising, however, that of all of Abrahams' children's mothers, Sarah was the only one to have reportedly died after some given number of years.

In fact, one can conclude that Abraham put such a strong emphasis on His understanding of watching the sky (i.e, the Zodiac, Stars, other Heavenly Bodies, and maybe even the weather) that it significantly shaped or affected His very behavior, even to make him act in ways that seemed to be out of character to His contemporaries.

For example, according to Genesis 20:10, Abram lies to Abimelech about Sarah not being his wife, and Abimelech wonders what He could have 'seen' that would make Abraham mislead him in such a fashion.

Genesis 20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, “What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?”

Abraham's response according to Genesis 20:11 is that Abraham gauged the level of 'civility' of those around Him, by what He saw evident in His immediate environment. However, to advance this version of His story, let's say what He could see in the Sky. 

Based on His understanding of it, His immediate concern was that those around Him would kill Him just so they can take his wife, Sarah. (Unlike Elmer Fudd who must have a death wish of sorts and goes around proclaiming 'my wife!', 'my wife!' all over town.)

Genesis 20:11 And Abraham said, “Because I thought surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.

Rationalizing his perfidy (Genesis 20:12) to Abilmelech that He only told a half truth, Sarah was indeed his half-sister, as well as his wife.

Genesis 20:12 And yet indeed (Abraham said) she is my sister: she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of Husbands And Wives

Step 5: The Proper Understanding of Idiomatic Expressions

Example: A WIFE To Keep Her Ears To The Ground

The 'my wife' thing as it pertains to Abraham, Isaac and others (but not SteveH, in His case it simply means 'my affliction'):

To recap, in Genesis 20:10-20:12, Abraham lies about Sarah being his wife to Abilmelech and then justifies that she is in fact his half-sister and then she became his wife. The fear being that Abraham may be killed on account of Sarah's beauty, since He feared they were among a godless people.

Genesis 26:7-26:12, finds Abraham's son Isaac undergoing similar circumstances where He, too, lies about Rebekah being his wife fearing the people they dwelt amongst (in Gerar) would kill Him in order to have her for her beauty (no doubt, something remarkable about both Sarah and Rebekah that these Prophets they were married to feared mortal death due to these women's attributes). 

For one thing, it may be, that their True Beauty should not be that conspicuous and if people are seeing them for what they really are, then their men (husbands) have cause to be worried:

Surah 52 at.Tur (The Mount, Mount Sinai)
وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُونٌ (52:24  
52:24 And serving them youthful souls that belong to them, the like of hidden (secure, sheltered) pearls

Surah 55 ar.Rahman (The Beneficent)
فِيهِنَّ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلَا جَانٌّ (55:56 
55:56 Therein those of modest gaze whom no man has touched before them nor jinn.
...
كَأَنَّهُنَّ الْيَاقُوتُ وَالْمَرْجَانُ (55:58 
55:58 The like of rubies (sapphires, jewels) and pearls.

Surah 56 Al.Waqi3'a (The Inevitable Event)

وَحُورٌ عِينٌ (56:22  
56:22 And (those with) houri eyes (most beautiful eyes)

كَأَمْثَالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَكْنُونِ (56:23 
56:23 The like of hidden (sheltered, secure) pearls.

جَزَاء بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (56:24 
56:24 A reward for what they did (in their erstwhile life, so the idea here is that these individuals finding themselves in such circumstances have already transcended the earthly existence)

Surah 76 Al.Insan (The Human Being)
76:19 And serving them are their immortal children; if you see them you would think them scattered pearls

وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَّنثُورًا (76:19  

وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا (76:20 
76:20 And if you saw any more, you would think it Bliss and a Great Dominion (Transcendent Kingdom)   

The Quran makes it clear that should these individuals (the 'espoused') be seen in their True Forms while still in the Earthly Realm, there is something amiss, and their companions know this to be the case since they are of Abraham. 

The further implication is that they know themselves, of a certainty, to have transcended/ascended (the Anglicanism is they have 'Risen') and are no longer among their own people.

Apparently, God's main thrust at showing His displeasure at a community's God.less.ness being to make everyone barren, since based on Abraham's fib, Abimelech mistook Sarah to wife (apparently nothing happened), the community quickly became childless until the misunderstanding was resolved.

Genesis 20:18 for the Lord had closed up fast all the wombs (in other words, 'sealed the matrices') of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

Others knowing this may take it to be open season on Abraham...since what? You can't exactly kill'em twice!

Genesis 26 

⁴ And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,

⁵ because Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge (Yes, I am forever grateful You caught Him early!), My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” (Thanks, Dad!)

⁶ And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

⁷ And the men of the place asked him (Isaac) concerning his wife. And he said, “She is my sister”; for he feared to say, “She is my wife,” lest, said he, “the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she was fair to look upon.”

⁸ And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out a window and saw, and behold, Isaac was frolicking with Rebekah his wife. (caught them mating in the meadow)

⁹ And Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, ‘She is my sister’?” And Isaac said unto him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die for her.’”

¹⁰ And Abimelech said, “What is this thou hast done unto us? One of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.”

¹¹ And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, “He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.” (Apparently, Abimelech as the personification of those in authority at the time, either the government, a political or corporate machine, that powers the populace is aware of the ramifications of what it means to be in the presence of Abraham (any of them) and their respective wives. Note the King's prohibiting any harm at the hands of his subjects to befall either Isaac or his wife.  (And compare to the abuse I suffered at these people's hands--so I take it I am right, I am not 'the wife' after all--but the One Who Carries The Charge(s)--What's this all about? Oh, nothing much, feel free to let fly with the whore jokes as in Regarding Whom, Who.Re? --houri, all of it--no matter what! We have the antimatter (antidote) for it And vice versa).

¹² Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. (Apparently they are on a mission. See? I told ya I was working!)

Step 7: The Proper Utilization of Embedded Information
  
Example: And A Husband To Keep His Eyes On The House 

Jacob's Mission Practicing Genetic Engineering 

(Animal Husbandry)

(This is not a stretch of the imagination, given the many, many references to genetic selection throughout the Scriptures, even as early as Genesis, examples sited below).

Genesis 30:32  I will pass through all thy flock today, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted animals, and all the brown animals among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and of such shall be my hire.

Jacob selected the speckled and spotted sheep and all the brown sheep (the male and the female) And the speckled and spotted goats (both male and female) for his wages...

Genesis 30:33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me."

...and to distinguish them from his father-in-law's.

Genesis 30:35  And he removed that day the he-goats that were ring streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

Jacob de-selects the ring-streaked and spotted male goats, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, and everyone (both male and female goat) that had some white in it. He also de-selects the brown sheep (both male and female). He gives the de-selected subset from the first group he took of his father-in-law's and gives them to his sons. 

Genesis 30:39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth animals ring streaked, speckled and spotted.

He then breeds these subsets  'before the rods', propagating animals that had patterns; ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.

See? Not an alien, an Earthling progenitor and apparently not as primitive as we like to think. And from subsequent text found in the Scripture, Jacob's practice in genetics yielded the hardier stock.

Implementation

Step It Through: A New Tool And Learning How To Use It

Example: Sectioning and Projections Of/Onto the Field 

Per Genesis 15:9  the Lord  gives specific instructions for the markers Abe is to look for and that is: to Take Taurus (having gone 3 years); and Capricorn (having gone 3 years); and Aries (having gone 3 years); and something that corresponds with a young pigeon and/or turtledove (See Avian-related constellations and asterisms). 

If the order seems out of place, more than likely it's because Abe may be counting by the seasons and not the years of wherever he is living; the inference being that he is traveling as the seasons pass.

^{Genesis 15:9} So He said to him, “Bring Me a three year old heifer, ==Taurus

and a three year old female goat, ==capricorn

and a three year old ram, ==aries

and a turtledove,  apex of the summer triangle (or Phact 5hr 39 min. winter sky northern hemisphere?)

and a young pigeon.” (Columba 6 hrs)

¹⁰ Then he brought all these to Him and

 cut them in two (see Bijection),

and laid each half opposite the other; (this is exactly how Abraham juxtaposed the bisected parts)

but he did not cut the birds. (because he used them to project onto the 'map' he developed in 15:9-15:10 above)

How Abraham may have sectioned the Zodiac
To Simplify the Exercise for Illustrative Purposes According to Genesis 15:9-15:10:
 Each of the 12 Signs of the Zodiac are 30 degrees of a 360 degree elliptic, with Aries starting at 0 degrees.
After 3 seasons of Taurus, followed by Capricorn and back to Aries 3 times each,
Abraham bisected (He may have taken other sections like 10 degrees, but let's assume He simply divided each Sector into 2 parts)
He then took one section each of the divided Signs; Taurus, Capricorn and Aries and laid each half opposite the other.
If this is the understanding, then a sector of Taurus would project onto Libra, Capricorn onto Cancer, and Aries onto Scorpio (See cross-ratio, projections, only real solution).

Assuming sectioning took place as described above, there are equivalents on the earthly plane that correspond to the coordinates of the stars that comprise the constellations of interest. 
(See 'unmoving Earth')

In looking for more clues, it may very well be that those stars or sky objects in Taurus, Capricorn and Aries that jibe with the 'trunks or chests' of the Bull, Goat and Ram form the 'frameworks' (trunk, chest, framework, dead body, and an animal slaughtered for food are all nuances of the word 'carcass') that Abraham uses to guide him on Earth in seeking whatever it is he needs to find in order to ascertain whether this is an earth (land) that He 'inherits' (or to get to the family reunion where no one recognizes each other).

That Abe took these sections starting with Taurus after 3 cycles had gone by and ending in Aries, means He had a series of Right Ascensions and Declinations to work with in tuning his search.

Let's just say this is a viable divining mechanism.

According to Genesis 15:11 Abraham then uses the coordinates of 2 other Signs/Asterisms or Stars, without sectioning them, and simply projects them onto the sections he has established (See Fano Plane--again, this would translate into real time on-the-ground information based on the movement of the stars overhead, 'On Earth as it is In Heaven').

^{Genesis 15:10} And he took unto Him all these, and divided them in the midst and laid each piece one against another; but the birds divided he not. 

This is at first sight, without reviewing the Hebrew text this appears to be a geometric exercise, Captain Alan Bennett, please do not fail me now. (Something like taking sections at the midpoints see diagram above, see w-curve…)

^{Genesis 15:11} And when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

The fowls coming down, probably projection of the Avian constellations/asterisms/star locations one the 'slaughtered creature bodies' or the sections he took in the above passage.

^{Genesis 15:11} The birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.(I can't do any much more driving, I found out my driver's license is suspended and I don't have the wherewithall to deal with that right now, any drivers out there?) 

--Abram drove or forced  'them' (not clear what or who is being forced in this way) but they may have been physically removed or transported or driven out into the open for the hunt (refer to Sedna legends). 

According to the same passage in Genesis 15:11 it is not clear whether the actual 'birds' which  'came down upon the carcasses' were simply 'fowl' like the turtle dove and the pigeon mentioned in Genesis 15:10, or whether other Constellations associated with 'birds of prey', like the Eagle 'Aguila', were involved.

The pigeon is a type of dove, so it would correspond roughly to 'Columba' at about RA 6 hrs Dec. -30 degrees and the turtle dove has a close equivalent to an archaic star Phact RA 5 hr 39 min Dec.-40 degrees, associated with a ring-dove, which is a type of turtle dove.

It is appropriate to mention a similar exercise involving birds and Abraham in the Quran  (Surah 2 Verse 260) which may or may not pertain to Genesis 15, but may prove helpful in understanding how it is Divine Inspiration works in a People given recurrent themes (motifs) throughout Scripture.

Surah 2 Al.Baqara (The Heifer, Cow, Calf)
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِـي الْمَوْتَى
 قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِن
 قَالَ بَلَى وَلَـكِن لِّيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي
قَالَ فَخُذْ أَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ الطَّيْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ
 ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا
ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ
 يَأْتِينَكَ سَعْيًا
وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ (2:260
2:260 And Ibrahim Said, "My Lord, Show me How You Revive the Dead?"
(God) Said, "Do you not believe it (have no faith that I Can and Do Resurrect the Dead)?
(Abraham) Said, "Yes, I Do Believe; but so that I am assured in my heart" (Here Abe is able to ascertain using Reason alone that God Is Able to Resurrect the Dead, but He needs an Emotional bolstering, or a Visceral understanding of it. This is understandable since, usually while on Earth, very few people see anyone come back from the dead; but Abe is in a unique position of being a Witness to such activity--He is eve said to know it as a certitude).
(God) Said, "Then take 4 of the birds (that which fly, al.teyir) and train them to come to you (ssurh);
then, place a pair (portion; divide them) of them on every mountain (hill)."
"Then, call them (beckon, summon; var. energize/urge/empower.…)"
"They will listen to you (come to you, quest for you, seek you)."
"And, know, that God Is Almighty, Just."

And the last sequence to this series of events according to Genesis 15:17 follows:

^{Genesis 15:17} And it came to pass that when the sun went down and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a burning lamp passed between those pieces. 

The Sun reached the Solar Apex may be what is meant by 'it was dark'--similar terminology is used to describe the Sun's activity as it reaches its final resting place (aging set) when other individuals that transcend space/time, such as Dhul Qarnayn, travel.  As such, the Sun as we know it is not referred to as the Sun, and maybe why it is describe as an analogous body like 'a burning lamp.' 

Essentially, the meaning is the Sun's equivalent and some other asterism/constellation associated with a 'burning furnace' pass between the bisected and projected star maps that Abraham has been taught to draw. In the Southern Hemisphere, Alta, the Altar,  could be  the 'smoking furnace'--a proper understanding of the original text can tell us more. 

A regenerative process, perhaps, but it is a context that Abraham knows to work within as God acts as His Shield while He executes whatever mission He is being called on to do. 

An important exercise to exact justice without being 'judgmental'--Just because Justice is administered blindly, doesn't mean one has to be blind to do it.

This sets up a premise for two things going on in situ; 

1. That God uses Abraham as an agent  of enacting Justice on the Earth (because if God has to do it, it's considered done so what would be the point in having any time at all? Besides, it wouldn't be fair if God uses Godly Powers against People now would it?)
2. And there are Signs Abraham is apprised of that indicate when the mission is complete and should answer exactly who it is Abraham is inheriting the Earth from.

The idea is basic but not simple. 

For one thing, Adam (B'nai Adam, Adam's progeny) are the Creation which God made to dwell on Earth. Check it out, they actually have a commission of sorts, too:

Surah 2 Al.Baqara (The Cow, Heifer)

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً 

قَالُواْ أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاء

وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ

قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ (2:30  

2:30 And Your Sustainer (Lord, God) Said to the Angels, "I Shall Establish a Calipha (emissary, representative, aka avatar) on Earth."

They (The Angels) Said, "You Shall Create upon her (the Earth) one who will cause corruption and shed blood,

When it is Us that Praise You and Hallow Thy Name?"

He (God) Said, "Indeed, I Know that which You have no knowledge of (I Know something you all don't!)"

God establishes Adam (here Adam not only means the Man, Adam, but all of the humanity that He gave rise to) as the original steward on Earth. And God Knows that Adam has a propensity to corrupt the Earth and cause bloodshed.  As such, Adam, while understood to be a mortal human being, is not a fully developed holy (whole, complete, perfect) creation--more like a work-in-progress (That's why I like to think of my services here as a benefit for the advancement of the human subject--not that I am royalty or anything like that, whilst it is true that in my original format I do speak the Queen's English--over the years I have resorted to American English---subterfuge!).

Surah 7 Al.A3'raf (The Heights)

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ 

وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ

قَالُواْ بَلَى شَهِدْنَا

أَن تَقُولُواْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَذَا غَافِلِينَ (7:172 

7:172 And whenever Your Sustainer (Lord, God) Takes from B'nai Adam (Humanity) offspring (seeds) from their loins (procreation), 

and calls them to bear witness over themselves, "Am I not Your Lord (Sustainer, God)?"

They say, "Yes, We Give You Our Solemn Oath (bear witness this to be the case)!"

(As a Reminder) In case you say on the Day of Judgment, "We were unaware of this."

And it is Adam that procreates and populates the Earth, but at some point in the generation of their offspring, they are aware that God Is Their Creator and they are witness to the actual fact of their creation. So that when the time for assessing their actions and intentions on the world stage (Judgment Day) comes they cannot plead ignorance.

Surah 19 Maryam (Mary)

أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ آدَمَ 

وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ

وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ

وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَاجْتَبَيْنَا
إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُ الرَّحْمَن خَرُّوا سُجَّدًا وَبُكِيًّا (19:58
19:58 And these are the ones who God Blessed among the Prophets; of the seed of Adam,
and of those borne with Noah,
and of Abraham and Israel's seed,
and from amongst those We Guided and Chose (Selected);
That when are Recited the Signs of the Beneficent to Them, they bow down, prostrated, and moved to tears." 

Notice how Noah's people are 'borne' with Him and not merely 'procreated' as seed/offspring like those mentioned of Adam, Abraham, and Israel.

Yet something inherent in Adam's nature makes them unreliable.

This begs the question, Who are all these unreasonable 'others'?

Surah 20 Ta.Ha 

وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَا إِلَى آدَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْمًا (20:115
20:115 "And verily We Made a Covenant with Adam in the past, but He forgot, and We Found No Firmness (Conviction, Steadfastness, Resolve) in Him."

And this (Sign 20:115) explains why Adam serves as a primary vehicle and eventually gets replaced (supplanted) or expected to evolve into something greater--a weak resolve is another way of saying infirmity of Spirit. Adam simply forgets all the very things He (in the Collective, all of Humanity) already knows it owes to God, its Creator.

Sign 6:27 clearly captures the thinking of those who do find themselves aware of being caught up in just such a scenario realizing they are still alive or conscious of their own identity. But still, somehow, they are not any longer in the life they were born into biologically. The tacit understanding is that they landed on a branched reality,  another circle or field, one not much to their liking if they transitioned while being nonbelievers since they are remorseful about their past activity.

Surah 6 Al. An3am (Cattle, Chattel, Possessions...)
وَلَوْ تَرَىَ إِذْ وُقِفُواْ عَلَى النَّارِ
 فَقَالُواْ يَا لَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ 
وَلاَ نُكَذِّبَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا
 وَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ  6:27    

6:27 If you could just see them when they stand facing the Fire حطب (firewood? See reference, Chinese Astrology, Copse and Bonds…, above), when they say, "Would that we could go back (to life) and we would not belie our Sustainer's Signs and we would be among the Believers."

And it would seem that Death is the Gateway or mechanism by which Adam, being mortal, can step back up to the plate--or Evolve, so to speak.

And while it is not a denigration of Adam to be a weaker (unreliable) life form, since they are blessed right along with other Prophets and Nations, God's Precognition of Adam's inherent inferior constitution poses a quandary--why, for what matter, or unspoken compelling motive is there, to go through and establish Adam on Earth to begin with? 

It almost seems as though Adam is being set up to be doomed to failure.

O, Gee, let's us See.

WE start with why We are here (still on Earth, thanks to my chauffeur day-before-yesterday, the chauffeur and the fish taco incident, Abraham's Service To God, below) in the first place.

خطوة  آدم على الأرض حضارة--Song lyric, Fairuz

"Adam's (Humanity's) step (presence) upon the Earth is Civilization!"

"khatwit Adam 3'lard hhdharat!"

where حضارة  means culture, plowing, breeding, education, And discipline

and خطوة means step, footprint, movement, stair, advancement, progress...

and the root for حضارة  is ح.ض.ر hhdhr means present/presence

The Idea being that while there are many Worlds, i.e.. communities (Nass) on the Earth, the one whose hallmark is Civilization is that of Human Beings, B'nai Adam. 

Civilization includes, but is not limited to: culture; education; discipline (law);  breeding (meaning manners and not just procreation); and, agriculture which comes from the connotation 'plowing' and that Humans are not meant to be simply hunters/gatherers.

And this sets the stage as to why Abraham, being able to use Reason alone to Remember God is a mechanism which checks Adam on Earth and also is set to inherit the Earth from Adam.

Abraham is a more advance thinking, reasonable, spiritually complete form of humanity and is charged with actually acting in God's Behalf on Earth, not merely abiding like Adam. That's why, while Adam can forget and move along, Abraham is considered 'a friend to God'--having made a more permanent bond or 'covenant,' not just a fleeting promise.

And that is the essential nature of the enduring 'covenant between God and Abraham' and it is more important than having it shift to a promise of anything as transitory as land rights (people move around), traditions (practices change with time) or even of mind (thinking evolves right along with people). 

Signs 7:172 and 20:115 indicate as much, that promises made by mortal Adam wash away like the Time and Tide along with his own passing on Earth, but establishing a Reasonable Abraham in their stead with an embedded memory or understanding of The Covenant ensures a segue or a bridge to the more complete, highly evolved Human Being still capable of even greater development.

And this explains why Abraham waking up is a bit of a nightmare, because of a certainty the landscape (the Earth) looks familiar but they know just as certainly, with an eye of certitude, that it is not the case. 

And knowing this, God Reinforces Abraham's conviction as mentioned in Sign 2:260 and bolsters His Actions by serving as Abraham's Shield in Genesis  15:1--God Protects Him.

Abimelech alludes to this in Genesis 21:22, when he makes mention of the fact that God is always with Abraham.

And it was after this evolutionary cycle that Abram was renamed Abraham, authentication of Ibraheem.

Abraham's Service to God

Abraham's Hand of Justice on Earth As God's Will Is In Heaven

Step 8: There Is No Real Virtue In Being Right

Example:  Let's Then Try To Be Just

{Excuse me for looking stressed (Nov. 5, 2012) I hear my entire family made it, with the follow on 'what a waste!' Yup! Welcome aboard, I didn't ask to come and I don't remember inviting anyone else along...} 

^{Genesis 15:12} And when the Sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him. (We all know why Abraham had the nightmare)

^{Genesis 15:13} And He said unto Abram, “Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years. (Abraham's progeny realize they are living among those in the broken circle, Abraham having transcended/ascended, apparently this is a family trait.) 

If one were inclined to follow this line of reasoning, then careful vetting of the Scriptures should indicate how God taught Abraham to suss out the information.

Genesis 15

After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, “Fear not, Abram. I AM thy shield and thy exceeding great reward.”

² And Abram said, “Lord God, what wilt Thou give me, seeing I go childless and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?”

³ And Abram said, “Behold, to me Thou hast given no seed; and lo, one born in my house is mine heir.”

⁴ And behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, “This shall not be thine heir, but he that shall come forth out of thine own loins shall be thine heir.”

⁵ And He brought him forth outdoors and said, “Look now toward heaven and count the stars, if thou be able to number them.” And He said unto him, “So shall thy seed be.”

⁶ And he believed in the Lord; and He accounted it to him for righteousness. 

(In other words, Abraham tells God the Truth--'Honest Abe' sounds about right).

⁷ And He said unto him, “I am the Lord who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give thee this land to inherit it.”

⁸ And he said, “Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?” 

⁹ And He said unto him, “Take Me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

Abraham is not asking how he can discern whether he inherits the land in Genesis 15:7 because he is playing dumb. What? He doesn't know himself to be part of the landed gentry?---pssshhaw! 

It may be the more likely case that he is aware that what he thinks is his world is not, and while the land (earth) he is walking on looks to be about the same and isn't, Abe seeks  Divine Guidance as how to navigate the unfamiliar.  

It appears these are exactly the circumstances those finding themselves Resurrected in our midst wonder about time and again, more than likely due to not having the proper information at the ready. These conclusions point to missing information, like that the Book of Resurrection, at one point in time integral to the original Hebrew Bible, is no longer found to be there. 

Yeah, like where'd it go? 

I'll make it sound more conspicuous--Who absconded with The Book of Resurrection/Convergence original to the Hebrew/Aramaic Bible? 

This lack of original source information further explains why, when others try to explain it, it sounds inane at best and like double-speak when someone tries to refine the concept (See Harut and Marut at Babel--(btw, ban.El roughly translates to 'God's Door'). 

Check out how it sounded in Letters to Corinthians:

1 Corinthians 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  

The implication is that a keen understanding of the hidden (fractal?) nature of the Reality is needed, since person A in the world left behind is still going to look like person A in the new world, but the 'fragment' of them that belonged in the lower realm stayed there. 

Abraham (in the collective) can make the distinction and it is in His nature to do so since He has some ability to transit the multiple realms (multiverse, multiple reality).   

To the untrained eye, it seems to be the same entity, but to the Rightly Guided, they have the faculty of discernment to deal with it appropriately (and probably the reason the 'Men In Black' are likely 'Abe's Men')---they need to see the whole field (of meshed or interwoven paths) and still be able to delineate or distinguish between the layers, or echelons, by some unequivocal criteria of remark (See Surah 7 Al-A3raf).  

So, should by some misfortunate happenstance or foul play (fowl play, see tater and sky objects associated with the birds) that undesirable fragment of entity A break through into the higher realm like a weed in the sidewalk, then Abraham has to take on the job of being the 'weed whacker'!--or 'gardener' to be politically correct.

That the rest of us are not in on this is the compelling reason as to why the strong caution, even prohibition, against killing. (Again, see reference to warnings from Harut and Marut ---Angels teaching how to apply this occult information) to not wield this information with seditious intent let alone use it without the proper dispensation). 

Only those who know they are in fact 'killing' the 'diseased fractal' of an 'entity' are sanctioned to do it in order to rid the 'body' (that we call humanity in the collective) of 'the disease' (baser nature of the human being--that part God found weak or unreliable among B'nai Adam). 

And this brings to a better understanding what it was Jesus meant when He Said, 'Be Ye Whole.' At the level one finds oneself, they have to decide whether they have Risen to the level of Heaven they think they are entitled, and if not, then they know they have not 'arrived' altogether (in a wholesome state). 

And if one is less than honest with oneself and believes they have gained an advantage to which they are not entitled, there is a system check in place--no need to thank me, just doing my job.  But if it makes any of you feel any better, we do not deploy any new weapon unless its been tested and this one has been tested on me personally and it works great! That's why when I say I am thankful, my Dad knows me to be sincere.

So, the short answer to our chauffeur's question when he 'brought the car around,' "Feel dead enough, yet?" 

Is, "Yes, now go away and let me enjoy my fish taco."

The Time Travellers 

It bears mentioning, too, if it isn't clear from the previous discussion that Ishmael is not mentioned by name as Abraham's seed in Sign 19:58 for a very good reason, He is in fact part of the Abraham collective and is in direct line of descent from Abraham the progenitor due to special circumstances that forced Time Travel--or what is commonly referred to as 'the Lord Raised Him Up'--if this sounds like bragging, it isn't--I am fully aware how heartbroken I am because of the actions of the ignorant many--yeah, like who flunked high school chemistry and called this air freshener?

How is that possible without a 'spaceship' and breaking the grip of Gravity?

The one tool Abe had that the rest of us did not was that He did not think it Impossible to do just that--Time Travel (See reference to Occultation and Time Delay).  

He never heard of a 'grandfather paradox' in all likelihood because there is not such a thing, makes Him the better mathematician--that or He had already read the bedtime story Lady of the Lake.

He could understand that going back to the past or hurtling himself into the future would not interfere in the natural course of events beyond His assignment, for the simple reason that He understood the implication of the irrational number pi. 

In broad strokes the idea is this: 

If one draws a circle 2pr₁ then breaks the circle,  the two ends will never meet in exactly the same end points again. 

Y? 

Because Pi! 

That's why. 

The decimal portion has a random series of numbers and is not predictable and does not have repeats, so chances are never the two-3ayn shall meet at exactly and precisely the same place again. 

Likewise a Resurrection Event Happens All the Time, Right Before Their Eyes and They have no sense of it, they just are not aware that they are going through it any more than a GI Joe toy is aware of a little boy picking up and putting it down, or any more than that circle's ends meeting at 2pr_1-- you can get a circle but it'll be slightly indistinguishable 2pr'₁. 

(So much for shooting your actual grandfather).

That Abe heard the voice from 'behind' Him indicates that it was a voice from the 'past', and in order to make the correction He was to account for, He may very well have been the very first Time Traveler (seems Time Travel to Abe is not what it is to the 'escape gravity in a rocket to do it' crowd, and the understanding of Abraham is it is a mechanism whereby God transacts Justice on the Earthly plane...or what we get is just diss). 

¹⁴ And also that nation whom they shall serve will I judge, and afterward shall they come out with great substance. (Apparently they are living among them and serving them so that God Almighty may make a determination)

¹⁵ And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried at a good old age. (good luck finding the body)

¹⁶ But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.” (4 solar apexes?)

¹⁷ And it came to pass that when the sun went down and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a burning lamp passed between those pieces. (The Sun reached the Solar Apex or wherever it goes to set in the Universe, not over the Earth, and by then there is a Sign in one of the constellations in the Southern Hemisphere---a regenerative process)

¹⁸ On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the River Euphrates:

¹⁹ the Kenites and the Kenizzites and the Kadmonites,

²⁰ and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Rephaim,

²¹ and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Girgashites and the Jebusites.”

Signs 18-21 above all have Celestial equivalents/correspondents...

^{Genesis 21:14} And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water; and he gave it unto Hagar (the traveling woman), putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness (copse) of Beersheba (the well by which the solemn oath was taken). 

1. Hagar + water bottle + on her shoulder=== AQUARIUS, the water bearer  
2. 'Alpha, Beta and Gamma Arietis as LOU, 'bond' woman 
3. Beer.sheba, literally, 'the well where the oath took place' or more clearly 'the well where the female soul dwells, 
4. the yin force'==Delta and Zeta Arietis, formed Tianyin, literally ‘the celestial yin force’, possibly representing the Emperor’s companion on hunting expeditions. 

^{Genesis 21:15} And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. (i.e., the water ran out….means that constellation Aquarius passed, elapsed…and her scion put under the ‘shrubs’ thicket)

1. the water in the bottle having been spent may mean that Aquarius passed (a time reference) 
2. and Tianyin's child (a star in that asterism) moved into a part of the sky associated with 'tangled small trees' or a 'copse' a 'thicket', 
3. the 'celestial fields' (something recalled in the Ram with its horns caught in the shrubs) 

(That I have learned this much means only this:  While an industrial toxic exposure made me physically ill, You All subsequently made my Soul Sick).

¹⁶ And she went and sat down apart from him a good way off, as it were, a bowshot; for she said, “Let me not see the death of the child.” And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice and wept.

By this, Hagar, the 'bond woman' moved to a further part of the Sky, comparable to a 'bow shot' distance away from, let's assume Ishmael dying of thirst (since the water ran out) is, the Ram caught in the thicket. 

There are 2 Zodiac Signs associated with bows, Sagitarrius--the Archer, and Orion--the Hunter, which would place Hagar, the Tianyin, some measure of an 'arc' away from these two bow-related Signs + 'opposite' Aries, Ishmael who is now, hung up in the 'celestial fields' or copse. 

She did not move all the way opposite the Archer, so if she moved away from Orion she would not have gone all the way to Scorpio which is farthest and opposite Orion, but that she 'raised her voice and wept' would indicate she was in a Sign associated with 'thunder and rain'. Traditionally that would situate her in Leo (Hi, Da.Hud--David--so is there a polite way to ask for You to show me Your Zaboor--or is it still a double entendre?--I really do need help with the math). This is where she intoned that she did not want to witness the death of her own son.

Then she moved opposite where Ishmael was. If He was situated in Aries as He lay dying, then the opposite sign on the Zodiac wheel would put her in Libra (the Scales), within earshot of You Know Who. 

¹⁷ And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven and said unto her, “What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear not, for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.

This one is not so clear, but if it involves 'Angels' and 'God', then some Justice is being done, 2 measures of which 'God Heard' + 'The Angel Called', that sets up the Message and the Judgment coming from Libra, the Scales of Justice. Not surprising, that Libra is the only Sign that is not a 'creature'. (Now we know You Who)

That Ishmael having 'cried out' from Aries having passed Aquarius means that he was close to death or already Resurrected.

¹⁸ Arise; lift up the lad and hold him in thine hand, for I will make him a great nation.”

Mythology pertaining to a mother and child escaping an imminent threat puts both Hagar and Ishmael in Pisces (tied together--'bonded', and don't think I don't feel it and that I am some bipolar cry-baby for no apparent reason, well, okay, maybe the reason is not so apparent, but only 'cuz they don't see it and...)  

...and their final destination seems to be in Capricorn, a Sign associated with succor, comfort, and help, which ties in rather nicely with this rendering of Hagar and Ishmael's ordeal since it is also known as the Amalthea, the Sea Goat that provided for baby Zeus after Rhea saved him from Cronos (Mother and Child escaping death). The word cornucopia comes from the broken horn of Capricorn - or the horn of plenty.

¹⁹ And God opened her eyes (Gave Her 'The Sight') and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.

This clearly being an allusion to a 'water way' or the 'Milky Way', or perhaps the single star Chinese astronomers named Tian’e or Tianhe,‘celestial river’ becoming visible. The yin (bond woman) moves here to refill her water bottle and is back in Aquarius once more. 

Up to this point in the story, Genesis 21:14 through 21:19, the movement and the action involves that of the Female protagonist, the yin force. (bond woman, hand maiden) 

²⁰ And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 

The Archer, here none other than Sagittarius, for 2 reasons, the lad (Ishmael) is communing with God so that he is not longer mortal nor immortal, but somewhere in between, a state of 'suspension' and mixed man/myth. More than likely what Scripture alludes to whenever God Says, 'I Will Raise Him Up To Be With Me.' (So, it would seem Jesus had antecedents)

He now has the dual nature of a Chimera, including the one Bellerophon, and interesting associations to monster slayers, Perseus and Pegasus, and the death-cheating Sisyphus and the 'golden sword' that could make 'doubles.' (See w-curves, pairs)

²¹ And he dwelt in the Wilderness  of Paran  פארן...

²² And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech and Phichol, the chief captain of his host, spoke unto Abraham, saying, “God is with thee in all that thou doest."==God is with Abraham always (Justice, the Scales, something in Libra is Abraham's constant companion/support)

²⁷ And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them unto Abimelech, and both of them made a covenant. (Abraham and Abimelech made a transaction that included the asterisms/Signs in Carpricorn, Aries and Taurus).

²⁸ And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. (An allusion to the Seven Sisters, a fold of ewe lambs==The Pleiades. Somehow Abraham sequestered or set aside, isolated 7 of these).

²⁹ And Abimelech said unto Abraham, “What mean these seven ewe lambs, which thou hast set by themselves?” (Yeah, that's what I'd like to know--reference to the mythos of the Fates and the Pleides?)

³⁰ And He said, “These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take from my hand, that they may be a witness unto me that I have dug this well.”—The 7 entities related to the Pleiades serve as witness to the fact that Abraham has dug a well...

³¹ Therefore he called that place Beersheba [that is, The Well of the Oath], because there they swore (took an oath), both of them.(but did any one of them cuss?)

³³ And Abraham planted a grove (copse, thicket, tangle of trees...refer to the Ram in the thicket above) in Beersheba ==and called there on the name of the Lord,==the Everlasting God (In the celestial field (i.e., Zero Point Field) Abraham called God The Everlasting One)

³⁴ And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days. (So long, apparently, that Abe forgot how to count the number of days).

Genesis 22  

¹And it came to pass after these things, that God tested Abraham and said unto him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Behold, here I am.” (Really? What gave it away?? The fact that I 'heard' my name called more times in the last 3 months than I had in the Eternity I dwelt among them thar others, well, okay 49 years, but I won't admit to more than that, it was more probably 33).

² And He said, “Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah (Here, I'll be obnoxiously obvious--'Imm-o R.I.A.H'-- roughly decoded to: 'His Mother is R (xxxx, ahem) I (nee, ahem), A (his Sire's surname, hem-hem-haw) and H (code for the last name of the MIA future husband--or more than likely password for 'SteveH--'your Steve'--which may also mean it wasn't Isaac, but Ishmael), and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.”  

(I still don't like this part because it's not like anybody ever has any choice--I already heard His Voice over the Water--and if my Set theory is correct, in all likelihood it may turn out that ISHMAEL was/is Abraham's Grandson and Hajjar (Hagar, literally, 'the woman who travelled' there, was/is Abraham's daughter using a special mode of transportation that is known to land safely and not crash).

³ And Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he cleaved the wood (Abraham being part of the forest manager, حطاب a woodsman in Nu thru Pi Aries, or somewhere in the celestial fields in or around the 16th Lunar Mansion)  for the burnt offering, and rose up (ascended?) and went unto the place of which God had told him.

⁴ Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes==looked up, and saw the place afar off.

⁵ And Abraham said unto his young men, “Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.”

⁶ And Abraham took the wood (actual logs or woods, like brush, or a copse?) of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand and a knife (fire and/or 'cutting tool', again an activity associated with woodsmen), and they went both of them together.

⁷ And Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here am I, my son.” And he said, “Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”(Abraham's son sees the Constellations Ara (The Altar where the fire/offering takes place) and wood(s) (the celestial fields?) and He wonders where is Aries? If this is a possible assessment of the events in Genesis, then they traveled to an area that Abe's son is not familiar with the stars over His head and it is interesting to note that Abraham and His family travel/range widely and that they know to look for these things in the Sky--See Observers, Sky Watchers). 

⁸ And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering.” So they went both of them together.

⁹ And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

¹⁰ And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

¹¹ And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.”

¹² And He said, “Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from Me.”

¹³ And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked; and behold, behind him a Ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the Ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. (Same as above explanation).

¹⁴ And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh [that is, The Lord will provide]; as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.”

¹⁵ And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time

¹⁶ and said, “By Myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son,

¹⁷ in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.

¹⁸ And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed My voice.” He can Hear God—(He is an Isma3ylia, Ishmaelite)

¹⁹ So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba—(went to Tyinyin); and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. (Recall, this is where Hagar had also been sent to dwell, Genesis 21:14)

A Family Affair

Step 9: Understand The Difference Between Incensed and Incest

Example: No, We are not all a bunch of criminals and child molesters!

First, and based on prior indicators, let's just get Isma3'el out of the way of this particular family feud. 

That while Ishmael is indeed sullaliten min Ibrahim, He is completely removed from the Timeline of the struggle that has been going on (for the better part of my wasted time on Earth anyway, aka 'the mideast crisis'--you'd think they ran out of news or widgets!). Another reason why when I set foot out of my home into this alien world it just doesn't make sense to me.

They keep asking 'Is she Jewish', or 'How old is she', ie, 'Is she new-ish'; so while I have not lost my moral compass I think you are all lost at sea (afield).

Ishmael, understood this way, makes for a compelling case that He is Ibrahim's Grandson by way of Ibrahim's own daughter. This makes sense of the fact that He is Abraham's direct descendent, but not His direct Heir, since He has other entitlements. 

See? God is not unfair--just may be more apprised of timing than the rest of us. 

Fact is, since Ismael is from the future, what everyone else is fighting about makes no difference to Him, since they are stuck in their own time and He already knows He has survived all of them, anyway--He may already own it so what's to contest?

His experience would be akin to that of other Men from future times (field projections), like Jesus and maybe Enoch or Dhul Qurnain. 

That Isma3'el is from the same bloodline in this fashion makes Him in no way responsible for any part of the 'bad blood' or bloodshed among what, according to Genesis 25:22, is a bitter struggle between the twins born of Rebekah and Isaac's union--their own fraternal twin sons, Jacob and Esau.

In fact, that is why Isma3'el, while still a legitimate Abraham family member (Abraham is His Grandfather through His Maternal branch), is also of 'other nations,' since His Father (Paternal Grandfather, etc.) may not be Abraham (they could be any one of the other Tribes, and nations, including Al-3'mran--which furthers the case that we don't all have to resort to inbreeding to preserve ourselves).

^{Genesis 25 Ishmael 137 years old 12 princes} 

¹⁶ These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns and by their castles, twelve princes according to their nations.

¹⁷ And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered unto his people.

¹⁸ And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt as thou goest toward Assyria; and he died in the presence of all his brethren.

It is important to interject here, and to emphasize, the unusual nature/status of Isma3'el has more to do with something that happened to His mother rather than anything that He himself could have done to either earn it or escape it.

It is in keeping with the restriction Abraham puts on His own son Isaac in Genesis 24:6, prohibiting Isaac from ever returning to Abraham's country and kindred (ie., home). That's how much the landscape had changed for Ibrahim and explains why I, too, did not return home despite Steve.O's assessment, to everyone on the bus July 19, 2013, when He said,"All she would have had to do is return home for everything to be all right."

Apparently, that would not have been the case, and while no one actually told me not to return home, and I am far from the disobedient sort had they actually ordered me to return, it was probably something innate to my nature to know better and avoid it.

That and a few of the system checks during the day and in recent events up to that point had proven my instincts are more in line with the Truth than what appeared to be the 'reality on the ground' (i.e., 'the lay of the land'--go ahead, have at it with all the 'working girl' and 'Who:Re' jokes. The last one I heard was priceless--it went something like this:

Him: "My wife is a fucking genius!"
He Who Shall Remain Nameless: "Did You just call My Mother a whore?!")

At any rate, since I was working anyway that day, I thought to verify the system is set up to check for such excursions. The following events proved that the people and environment I could easily believe to be my natural surroundings were not in fact what they seemed to be:

1. The EEOC at the office refused to grant me Reasonable Accommodation to relieve symptoms from chronic exposure to irritants at the office, i.e., they deliberately intended to make my condition worse, and it did get worse and resulted in a 3rd hospitalization in as many months.
2. My current supervisor  gratuitously rescinded my Reasonable Accommodation in the first place at the beginning of the year and made an issue of it although it had been in place for the past 17-18 years.
3. The upper level management suddenly orders staff to be physically in the office 4 days each week, while allowing higher level management and their wives to stay home and even homeschool their children on telework days (all week each week if they want), and they never have to account for their time on the, ahem, 'clock.'
4. Personnel suddenly scrutinizes my timesheet although this had never happened at any time before during my 21 years on the job, they check my access to the building via my card key records and I know them to not jibe with what I know to be the frequency or time accuracy of my days in the office (computer logs would reflect this to be  the truth--I am actually there more often on embedded days, and the fact is they just can't afford to pay me for 'real time worked').
5. On July 19, 2013 my monthly Metro EZpass which is valid with Zone 2 through the end of the month (July 31, 2013) is rejected when I try to get on the Silver Streak (foothill transit, or it could have been the Silver Line) express bus to Los Angeles on my return from work at the end of the day. The fare box was not malfunctioning and I had to pay cash to get on.
6. Although simply displaying the EZpass would have been enough in that instance to allow me to ride the bus, the driver refused to honor it and that's why I still had to pay.
7. This indicates the system check was in place to recognize I was still human, the rest of you take your chances--even if you think you are entitled to rest and safe relaxation at home while I work to optimize the system under such trying conditions, while I continue to be grief stricken and sick due to such inconsiderate behavior on your part--that means all o'yous. (And, of course, SteveOO who even now as I sit here at the library regaling myself with my resplendent trials at the office keeps insisting, 'I'm the one who f*79ed you'. And seeing how there is no real advantage to making such a claim (he basically didn't get near me) he wound up offing himself--that, and it seems to not be as memorable an event in my catalog as it is in his since he can't seem to stop talking about it and I know I couldn't have fallen victim to him because I count myself among those heavenly virgins who just don't give a pluck.
8. On or about July 25, 2013, the turnstiles in Union Station would not accept my Metro pass although it was still valid and I could not take the train home.  
9. At around 9 pm July 25, 2013 Union Station was like a police state, with K-9 patrols and people standing in 1's, 3's and 5's  not really going anywhere.  
10. I smelled noxious gases (may have been incendiary or accelerants, not likely emissions from the trains) while I was down there in the Red Line area, but no one else seemed to notice.
11. I wound up having to take one of the buses from Petausaurus Plaza which had its marquis display that it was westbound into Santa Monica (I thought I was on the 704 or 733) but at some point the route was changed and I wound up in Al Hambra.  I don't recall the bus driver calling out the change and I was pretty sure I read the sign correctly and picked up the bus at platform 5 or 6 (either one bound for service into Santa Monica).
12. I saw Peace sitting at the station that night, She looked as lovely as ever. A validity check that the police state that existed at that level for those people is what they get for declaring war on Peace.
13. I am writing this as of August 21, 2013 so I seem to have made it out of there and I was traumatized at the kind of damage I thought I saw on one individual's face--what exactly is Steve trying to do?
14. And later that evening, since I was taken to the ER for being 'disoriented,' He says, 'This is where I thought I made my mistake, I thought she saw my face'--yes, the fact is I did see 'his face' on the way that night and it was not something to feel good about :-(
15. Such a busy day….

The Hatfields And The McCoys, And The I-Conic Sectors
(The Mortal And The Resurrected)

Step 10: To Be Understood Within The Context of Earth-man (Terrestrial) vs. Sky-man (Astral)

Example: The Family Feud Involves Isaac and Rebekah's Fraternal Twin Sons, Esau and Jacob

 ^{Genesis 25 Isaac and his nations}

¹⁹ And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham's begotten Isaac.

²⁰ And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah for a wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

²¹ And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

²² And the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it be so, why am I thus?” And she went to inquire of the Lord. (Isaac having married from amongst His Own Sire's kith and kin made it difficult for Rebekah to conceive, the children struggled within her, they were dying in her womb, a matrix not amenable to Life or not a viable star nursery)

²³ And the Lord said unto her, “Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy body; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people, and the elder shall serve the younger.”

Here, again, what appears to be allusion to some genetic incompatibility, Rebekah and Isaac's seed produce offspring that are at odds with each other, not compatible, and they are of 2 distinct types. Note: There are no others implicated in this particular struggle, this is solely a matter of genetics having to do with this one couple's union (this family/subset, not any of the others).  

²⁴ And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

Rebekah bears twins from Isaac. A competing dual. 

²⁵ And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

Esau is the older (first born) twin.  Analogous to a Red Star with many filaments, hairy (How is this similar dissimilar from Sirius?)

²⁶ And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was threescore years old when she bore them.

The second twin is clasping the older twin's heel at birth, and subplanted (usurped some power from the first born). An interesting way to relate exactly what is happening at this particular stage of development of a 2-star system.

²⁷ And the boys grew. And Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field (==ORION? at inception somewhere in the 'celestial field') and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents==

Esau is a Hunter (a Man makes him Orion, not Sagittarius the chimera) and possibly originating in the celestial field, and his twin Jacob is plain (living in a flat field? or plain as bare, ordinary?  living in tents? and we find out later that he is not hairy (has no filaments--like solar flares?)

The implication also being that the older twin, Esau is 'not civilized' since he is a hunter/gatherer and does not cultivate the land, is 'uncultured'; and Jacob is established on the surface 'plain' of the Earth as the civilized counterpart, since he has established dwellings in 'tents' and while he has drawn some of his power from his older twin, he has it under control (disciplined) derived from the allusion to red, filaments (by extension, bodily hair or uncontrolled burning (emotion, rage) in a star  such as Esau has died down in Jacob so that he is plain (less bodily hair) and fair (meaning his is not prone to the heater tumultuous anger/emotion present in his older brother, the 'star child', Esau--I had to throw that in for the 'alien visitors' encampment)

²⁸ And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison (carnivore_; but Rebekah loved Jacob_ herbivore)

This states a dietary preference, Isaac is a meat eater and prefers the food of the hunter son, and Rebekah is a vegetarian and so prefers her supplanter, plain son's provender.

²⁹ And Jacob boiled pottage; and Esau came from the field, and hewas faint.

In other words, as Esau moved out of the stellar nursery somewhere in the celestial field, his energy waned.

³⁰ And Esau said to Jacob, “Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage, for I am faint”; therefore was his name called Edom.

³¹ And Jacob said, “Sell me this day thy birthright.”==take your place…at some point in the first epoch probably at the solar apex, resting place of the Sun?

³² And Esau said, “Behold, I am at the point of dying. And what profit shall this birthright be to me?”

³³ And Jacob said, “Swear to me this day.” And he swore unto him, and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. (This probably means that Esau did not actually like his 'stellar status' and longed to be established as his younger twin brother, Jacob--the end of Esau's service to his brother Jacob brings about all of the Astronaut's Wife tales).

I need to reiterate that this is a struggle between 'brothers' even 'twins' or duals from the same mother and father and this was never to be inferred as a wider struggle that included the entire field of Humanity. That's why it should not come as any surprise that many of us already have either gone beyond this struggle (evolved) or were never really included in it in the first place.

27 And it came to pass that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son and said unto him, “My son.” And he said unto him, “Behold, here am I.”

² And he said, “Behold now, I am old; I know not the day of my death.

³ Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and take me some venison.

Again, a reference to a huntsman, Orion.

⁴ And make me savory meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee before I die.”

} 

³⁶ And he said, “Is not he rightly named Jacob [that is, A supplanter]? For he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright, and behold, now he hath taken away my blessing.” And he said, “Hast thou not reserved a blessing (ie., an opening, a Gateway) for me?”

³⁸ And Esau said unto his father, “Hast thou but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

³⁹ And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, “Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.

Jacob is definitely an Earthbound being...deriving his sustenance and livelihood on Earth. 

^{Isaac's Blessing to Esasu 40} And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.”

As a Hunter/Warrior Esau (a Celestial being) wields power to serve his earthbound (terrestrial) twin Jacob on Earth, and after a time, Esau breaks loose of his 'yoke' (once past Taurus) and no longer has to serve his brother. 

⁴¹ And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then will I slay my brother Jacob. (Perhaps a mild reference as to how the Resurrected Astral People assume their new roles back on Earth by supplanting the Terrestrials).

Promises Get Broken

Step 11: Know That God Doesn't Break Promises 

Surah 10 Yunus (Jonah)

أَلا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاء اللّهِ لاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ (  10:62
10:62) Indeed, those allied with God, no fear have they nor shall they grieve.

Example: 

Thighs and Oaths

Genesis 24  

¹And Abraham was old and well stricken in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

² And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh;

³ and I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell.

⁴ But thou shalt go unto my country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

⁵ And the servant said unto him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land. Must I bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?”

⁶ And Abraham said unto him, “Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

⁷ The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke unto me and who swore unto me, saying, ‘Unto thy seed will I give this land,’ He shall send His angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence.

⁸ And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only bring not my son thither again.” 

⁹ And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.

The Gathering

The Final Step: Burying the Dead

Example: Turns Out It's Another 12 Step Program

^{Genesis 23}

¹³ And he spoke unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me. I will give thee money for the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”

¹⁴ And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

¹⁵ “My lord, hearken unto me: The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is that between me and thee? Bury therefore thy dead.”

¹⁶ And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed the silver for Ephron which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth: four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.

¹⁷ And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field that were in all the borders round about, were secured

¹⁸ unto Abraham as a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

¹⁹ And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre (the same is Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

²⁰ And the field and the cave that is therein were secured unto Abraham as a possession for a burying place by the sons of Heth.
